elchucochick 's review for:

Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero
5.0

Deals with some serious issues, but it's also extremely funny. This book meant so much to me because these are people I know. These are situations I've experienced, like buying dresses made by some random lady on the cheap and then them turning out to look terrible, or the urge to rage against the old ways that older relatives try to make you conform to.

There was some criticism recently about the lack of a glossary, but even with my limited knowledge of Spanish, I understood. I think those people who complained need to reread Gabi's last line.

Fabulous book. Fabulous teenage voice. All the praise for this book is well-deserved!
